Liberation Day has come and gone. If Trump’s War on Foreign Goods (WOFG) is genius, we’ll take idiocy. It’s a stitched-together concatenation based on meretricious metrics, a Son of Smoot-Hawley that will ensure Trump a place in the presidential pantheon right next to Herbert Hoover. Like Hoover, Trump has a business background; like Hoover he never shuts up, and like Hoover he will preside over a disastrous tariff regime.

Start with the metrics the Trump team used to calculate the tariffs for each country. How did they determine a trading partner’s tariff on U.S. exports to that country? They didn’t take the country’s actual tariff rate, then perhaps add in a guesstimate percentage for non-tariff trade barriers and go from there.
